"Your-free-project" action field becomes a more general explorer - type any Wikidot site name to go there.

Thanks to everyone who made these suggestions. Some people have asked us if it's OK to change the color and background of the top Toolbar, and the answer is "yes". If you want to know how to do this, ask on the community site and no doubt someone will explain.

Final bit of good news: we fixed a database "auto-vacuum" problem that was causing Wikidot to run v e r y s l o w l y at certain times of day. We're now measuring database response time and anything over two seconds should be automatically flagged so we can fix it. If you find any particular page takes too long to load, let us know.

I like the latest design of the top bar, but I'd have to agree….There's all sorts of security/privacy problems with allowing ANYONE to see a page source and history. Could we have those only appear for logged in users with the appropriate level of access, please?

On a related note, would it be possible to push the login field/account tab onto the top bar? As its a unified image across wikidot as a whole, and you login to wikidot as a whole, it makes sense to me if the login is embedded in the topbar.

Go to "permissions " in the site manager and amde the setup for the "page options buttons" only viewable for "members" or admins, not for anonymous or registered users of wikidot.
Edit: sorry phil, you were faster… :)

Excuse me, but I don't see those changes in the top toolbar. My (and all others) toolbar is as always. I am also a little bit concerned about those buttons on the top bar… EDIT is ok, but SOURCE and HISTORY… Can you make it optional as it is now? I mean, that bottom commands can be made invisible for visitors…

As you can see from my site (click signature) the edit bar is an important part of the site. This will look quite bad if it is simply replicating what is in the navi-bar. If discuss is moved to the navi-bar then I can just remove the custom CSS of the edit bar and it can return to the bottom.

It would be ideal if all of the edit bar could be moved to the navi-bar and maybe the options button opens an extended navi-bar…?

Or… we can use check boxes to pick and choose which buttons appear in the navi-bar…?

Why don't you make a how-to on how to change colors and shapes on the toolbar? Or make a contest in toolbar design? Or, make a page where people can post their solutions and designs of a toolbar, together with a CSS code so others can chose the one they like or the one that best suits to their sites?

Pop-up menus are unpleasant IMO (in my opinion) unless they hide stuff we rarely use. A row of icons covering all available actions is probably what we will eventually make. I personally prefer text actions but there is not enough room for too many of them.

There is a bug in the comment module, must have rolled in with the new version this morning. When you post a comment, it leaves the text there, as if your post failed. Thus you click again, creating duplicate posts. I've also been hit by this.
